How does the coil on plug ignition system work?
As a result, The Coil On Plug Ignition System eliminates the need for distributors and spark plug wires. With the Coil On Plug Ignition System, Ignition timing is handled by the (ECU), based on inputs from various sensors.
What to do if you change spark plugs and coil packs?
Then the next step is to do a compression test on all the cylinders to ensure they are holding compression evertime the pistons are moving the way they should and the piston rings aren’t in need of repair & check the timing to make sure it hasn’t jumped time , Certified Master Auto Technician for 25 years.
How often does a coil on Plug system need to be charged?
Each coil in a Coil Pack system will only have to charge and discharge one time per engine revolution, and each coil in a Coil-On-Plug system will only have to charge and discharge one time for every two engine revolutions! Problem solved! Add to that the fact that we supply the GM LS coils, and you have an ignition system that is unstoppable!
Why is my coil not jumping the spark plug gap?
As the RPM’s increase, there is less and less time, and eventually, the coil will not have enough power to jump the spark plug gap. This is not typically a problem with naturally aspirated engines, but if you are running relatively high levels of boost, you can experience “Spark Blow Out”.
Why are spark plugs not supposed to be anti seize?
Spark plug companies don’t recommend anti-seize on threads because it lowers the torque required to install the plug. Torquing the plugs to the published spec with anti-seize overtorques the plug which potentially could break the internal seal between the insulator and the shell, creating a leak path.
How does a hotter spark plug improve the idle quality?
The change to the hotter plugs improved the idle quality only slightly by reducing the unburned hydrocarbon (HC) count along with a slight improvement in CO 2 which is an indicator of combustion efficiency.
What happens when oil is leaking from spark plugs?
If you do not have a good supply of oil, then your engine will overheat from all the friction created by moving components rubbing against each other. However, you’ll never want to have oil leaking into the spark plugs. This will create a huge problem with the functionality of your engine and its performance.
